In Genisis 6 it states man will be given a maximum of 120 years to live on this planet. As this was stated in the Genisis time frame . Why did man live longer than 120 years? Etc. Moses Noah and on and on. I know how many days,munites and nano sectons is in 120 years that is not the answer some joker responded to my first message. When this joker is 89 years old I wish to see him perfect in word and speech. |

Hello Monty, Welcome to the Forum. Does Genesis 6:3 say that man "will be given a MAXIMUM of 120 years to live? It doesn't say that in any of the translations I own. All of the translations that I searched said "his days shall be 120 days" or some slight variation. None of them included the word "maximum". This is one of those points that we can get bogged down in and miss the teaching of the passage. The focus is both the sinful state of man and the truth that God's mercy will not be extended indefinitely. We each have an appointment with death (Heb 9:27) God's word is never contradicted so we can draw a logical conclusion from what is written and what we know. Gen 6:3 is not a definite, to the day or year declaration of how long a man will or can live. We know this because, as you pointed out, many in the past lived much longer than 120 years and almost no one today lives to reach 120 years. What we can be sure of from Scripture is that man is sinful, God is patient and merciful, each of us has a limited time to respond to Him. Hope this helps, Jeff |
